St. Edward’s Crown, the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels viewed by millions of people every year at the Tower of London, have been moved to an undisclosed location for modification in preparation for the coronation of King Charles III.
The current crown was made for Charles II in 1661, as a replacement for the original, which was melted down in 1649 after the House of Commons abolished the monarchy and declared a commonwealth during the English Civil War. The original was thought to date back to Edward the Confessor, who reigned in 1042-1066.
Charles will be crowned in a solemn religious ceremony conducted by Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, the palace said in a statement. Camilla, the queen consort, will be crowned alongside her husband.
